Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 680 Emperor's Disciple

   Zhu Houzhao was excited about this.

  This piece of Yuanxi is really a child can teach.

  It's a pity that such arm strength is not used for archery.

  Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back, feeling happy in his heart, staring at Zhang Yuanxi with a pair of shining eyes, but tried his best to look like a master of riding and shooting.

  Although I was shocked by Zhang Yuanxi's terrible arm strength just now, but I can't lose if I lose. Zhu Houzhao is a person who talks about technology, not brute force.

Facing the respectful Zhang Yuanxi, he nodded his head and deliberately slowed down his tone: "I just saw you shoot arrows, which is not bad, but the most important thing about this archery is the unity of the waist and the horse. To be stable, the whole body needs to be motionless. Come on. , come and learn from me.”

  Zhu Houzhao groaned, pouring all his strength into his legs, turning his body slightly to one side, and shouted again, struggling to pull up the magpie bow in his hand, staring straight ahead, standing still.

  Zhang Yuanxi also took the iron tire bow, but his legs and feet are inconvenient, although he is also sideways, it looks funny, his legs collapse and he can't walk, but...

Zhu Houzhao retracted the bow, and was about to correct Zhang Yuanxi's movement, and then...he was a little dazed, this non-standard movement...however, after Zhang Yuanxi fully drew the tens of stone iron tire bow, he remained motionless, his hands trembling No trembling, it can't be any more steady.

  Zhu Houzhao was rubbed again. It was as if Zhang Yuanxi pressed the ground with a hammer. He felt his face hurt a little.

  cough cough...

But Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it, and couldn't help but stare at Zhang Yuanxi who was standing firmly with wide eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he said with shame: "You...you don't even walk, why are you like a rock, with such a body? Is it stable?"

  Zhang Yuanxi retracted his bow, his face was not flushed, and he was not out of breath: "I..." As soon as the words came to his lips, he felt something was wrong again, so he immediately changed his words.

"Student, from the beginning, you have to learn to be stable. If not, it's fine for ordinary people to fall and get up. But once a student falls, it's extremely difficult to get up. , not to mention, students..."

  Zhu Houzhao understood.

  Zhang Yuanxi is used to one foot, and even one foot needs to be stable. Any imbalance may cause him to fall. What's more, his upper body is so strong that it is difficult for him to lose his balance.

  Zhu Houzhao wanted to hit the wall, this is a lame man, a lame man.

this…

  Zhu Houzhao was crying in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he said lightly: "Then let's go to the back mountain, and I will teach you how to shoot accurately."

  Zhu Houzhao no longer has the face to teach Zhang Yuanxi anything in this school field, it is better to find a place where there is no one.

  …

  As soon as Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yuanxi left, someone came to the palace: "Captain, Your Majesty invites you into the palace."

  Fang Jifan glanced at the eunuch, couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the matter?"

  The **** said: "Tatar, send an envoy to see you."

  The Tatar envoy came, and Fang Jifan didn't feel much trouble about it.

  The Tatars are like this. They always fight and talk with you. After suffering a loss, they see that they can’t grab it, so they look for opportunities to send envoys to pay tribute, and ask Daming to trade with them. But once they were fattened up, they became arrogant again, straddled their horses and raised their knives, and killed them to the border.

  Fang Jixi didn't have much affection for the Tatars in his heart. He didn't like capricious people very much, and he was even more clear about the purpose of the Tatars.

  Last time, the Tatars lost too much.

Because of this, they dare not go south to violate the frontier for the time being, but if they do not violate the border, they will not be able to live on. The tea, salt and even iron pots they urgently need are all necessities of life. If there is no trade in Ming Dynasty, life will be difficult up.

  So, now another envoy is here.

   It was just a surprise to Fang Jifan, His Majesty actually asked him to go, obviously, His Majesty still trusts him very much.

  He hurried into the Forbidden City and into the Nuan Pavilion, but he didn't see the Tatar envoys, but he saw Liu Jian and others were there, except Zhang Sheng.

  Emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan coming, and without waiting for Fang Jifan to salute, Emperor Hongzhi said kindly: "Jifan, it's just in time for you to come. I happen to have something to ask you. I heard that Zhang Qing's family fell ill."

  Fang Jifan immediately raised his eyebrows, showing a look of surprise.

   "Ah, is he sick? I saw that he was fine yesterday."

   Suddenly, everyone couldn't help looking at Fang Jifan.

  How does it sound, it seems that Zhang Sheng and Fang Jifan...are in cahoots.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled, and said: "I have sent the imperial doctor to ask, and I heard later that it seems that because of his son, Zhang Yuanxi, the son of Zhang Qing's family, went to Xishan?"

  Fang Jifan did not dare to neglect, and immediately nodded: "There is this matter."

  Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face and said sternly: "Nonsense! There is only one son in Zhang Qing's family, but he is disabled... What is he going to Xishan for? No wonder Zhang Qing's family is so worried."

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "This son, my son, look, his bones are very strange..."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help shaking his head: "He's lame, don't think I don't know, you have the heart to make fun of him."

  After speaking, Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan fiercely, making fun of a lame man, it is really disgusting.

Fang Jifan naturally came into contact with Emperor Hongzhi's stern gaze, but he was not afraid at all, but couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help defending Zhang Yuanxi: "So what if you are lame? Are you a waste if you are lame?" In my son's opinion, even a piece of straw paper has its uses, Your Majesty must not underestimate the straw paper, no, Zhang Yuanxi must not be underestimated."

  Emperor Hongzhi blew his beard and stared.

  In the end, he knocked on the copy: "Zhang Qing's family is not easy. If you want to joke, you can't joke too much."

  Fang Jifan said: "Yes."

   While talking, an **** came outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Tatar envoy has arrived."

Emperor Hongzhi looked around and smiled at Liu Jian and the others: "The Tatars have always been rebellious, and today they sent envoys because their arrogance was dispelled and they wanted to make peace. They are Tatars, they always call themselves Bravery, but this is just an appearance, what I see is cunning."

  Liu Jian smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Fang Jifan."

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan, his eyes were full of appreciation, he was really very satisfied with Fang Jifan.

   Facing Emperor Hongzhi's admiration, Fang Jifan hurriedly showed a modest look, and smiled at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Jifan, sit aside, come, give Fang Qing a seat."

   Someone moved to Jindun, and Fang Jifan sat down.

   After a while, two Tatars entered the warm pavilion.

   One old and one young.

  The old man said: "Abu Hua is blessed by the Longevity God to the Lord of the Desert, and has fulfilled the orders of the Great Khan. He is here to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

   As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee.

This Abuhua...Fang Jifan has some impressions. He always hears Zhu Houzhao mentioning that this person is the prime minister next to the Tatar Han. Of course, the Tatars have more prime ministers, just like their princes. Prince, third prince, fourth prince. Naturally, Abu Hua was the most important prime minister by Tatar Khan's side.

Fang Jifan looked at Abuhua, neither humble nor overbearing, and thought to himself, this person must be the most important adviser around Tatar Khan, and Tatar Khan actually sent him here. It can be seen that the Tatars are very concerned about this trip. Make, very watch.

  Just the young man behind Abuhua.

   This is indeed a young man. He is very calm, with deep eyes and ice-like face, looking rebellious. He just stands and refuses to kneel down on one knee to salute.

  Hongzhi looked at the young man, who was very tall and tall, like an iron tower. Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help frowning, and stared at the young man indifferently.

Seeing this, Abu Hua hurriedly smiled wryly: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, this is the Fifth Prince of Tatar, the youngest son of the Great Khan. Although I came to the Central Plains this time to see the world, he doesn't understand etiquette. Please excuse me .”

   "Fifth Prince..."

Fang Jifan couldn't help but wanted to count with his fingers, how many princes he had killed Tatar Khan, whether it was three or four, there were some parts and some whole, but he never expected that Tatar Khan would still It's a tragedy to have a son. Is this guy a leek? Once a crop is cut, there will be another crop, endless life?

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was still ashen, and he snorted coldly and said from his mouth: "When you come to the Central Plains, if you don't know the etiquette, you are deceiving the emperor and committing crimes. Haven't you heard of it, do as the Romans do?"

  Abu Hua hurriedly winked at the fifth prince.

  Fifth Prince reluctantly said: "I have seen the Ming Emperor." Very unwilling to bow down.

  Emperor Hongzhi remained silent, and didn't ask the fifth prince to stand up. He just pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

   This made Abuhua a little embarrassed.

  Liu Jian glanced at them, and then said indifferently: "You are here, why are you here?"

  Abu Hua said: "It represents the Great Khan, and he came here to fight for the two countries to stop their troops and trade with each other."

  Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down, and said indifferently: "When you start a quarrel, if you want to trade with each other, can you trade with each other?"

Abu Hua said: "In these years, the winter has been long, and many livestock have died on the grassland, but it has been unspeakably miserable for Daming. The grain production has been severely reduced. At this time, we should help each other to fight against natural disasters. It is really not appropriate to use weapons rashly. As long as Your Majesty agrees, and the Great Khan is willing to apologize for his previous recklessness."

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but chuckled: "What's the use of apologizing? I have to apologize to people hundreds of times throughout the year."

  A Buhua turned her head and glanced at Fang Jifan: "I don't know this...but is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty?"

   "..." Fang Jifan was mistaken for the prince, which is understandable. On the one hand, he is too young to appear on this occasion. On the other hand, he is about the same age as Zhu Houzhao.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "This is my son-in-law, Prince Consort Fang Jifan."

  Abu Hua looked at Fang Jifan with deep eyes.

  The fifth prince suddenly became excited, and said: "So you are Fang Jifan."

  Fang Jifan kept smiling, he was a civilized person, and said with a pleasant face, "That's right, it's just Fang Jifan."

  …

  Reminder, the TV series "Tang Zhuan" is about to start broadcasting today, whether you are excited or not, surprise or not.
